Description

Multichannel active-source seismic surveys image Wellington Basin at two sites using P-, SV-, and SH-waves. Sky Stadium is near where gravity studies suggest the basin is deepest; and Waitangi Park straddles the recently discovered active Aotea Fault. A sledgehammer plate source and arrays of single-component geophones were used to generate and record polarised seismic waves. We conclude that for hammer and plate methods, P-waves are optimal for anticipated sediment thicknesses >350 m depth, ...
